The Ageing Problem in China

Same as other countries, an ageing era is approaching to China. However, China also has its exclusive problem.
In the fast-paced society of China, elderly people tend to live alone, not spontaneously but forcedly. And the reasons are as followed, first of all, on account of the the traditional method of China—yang er fang lao, i.e, raising children for the sake of the old age, many Chinese parents endeavour to rear their children and provide as best condition as they can for children to build up their own life, and leave scarce savings for themselves.
In that case, here comes the second question, their offsprings have to go to the metropolitan where is far from home searching for work. Since it isn’t easy to take seniors with them even they eager to, those elderly people have to stay solely, which is even more solitary for them when their significant other passed away.
Worse still, provisions are absolutely lag behind in China, for the government assumes offsprings will no doubt to take the responsibility of caring the old and sick.
And here are some measures could be taken account of .
Firstly and the most crucial is to establish a more mature policy on pension and retirement income. For instance, to aid people over 65 years old having sufficient living expenses every month, and to add those who is approaching retirement into the list of being helped, people who live alone for particular.
Secondly, the neighbouring service also need to be refined. The government entail to put money on this.
Lastly, considering some seniors would regard no being reared by children as an embarrassing thing and refuse the help, the experts for comforting them are also needed.
To sum up, even though the structure of letting offsprings raise their parents works for thousands of years in China, the system is require to be built to help the left olds ,so that to provide a better life for the old and to ease the guilty of youth for their insufficient ability to render a bright later life to their parents.

However, China also has its exclusive problem.

"exclusive" means "limited, single, undivided", and it doesn't really sound correct the way you used it. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/exclusive

The Ageing Problem in China


This sentence has been marked as perfect!

Same as other countries, an ageing era is approaching to China.


Same as other countries, an era of ageing era is approaching to China. Same as other countries, an era of ageing is approaching China.

"ageing era" sounds like the era itself is what is ageing

In the fast-paced society of China, elderly people tend to live alone, not spontaneouslyby choice but forcedly. In the fast-paced society of China, elderly people tend to live alone, not by choice but forcedly.

"spontaneously" doesn't sound right here, because it means "all of a sudden, all at once". You use it to describe something that happens very quickly without being planned. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/spontaneously

And the reasons are as followed, first of all, on account of the the traditional method of China—yang er fang lao, i.e, raising children for the sake of the old age, many Chinese parents endeavour to rear their children and provide as best condition as they can for children to build up their own life, and leave scarce savings for themselves.

Okay, I changed a couple of things here. In the first sentence, you typically put a colon after the phrase "as follows", rather than a comma I don't see a way to put words in italics, but usually when you are writing in English and you introduce a foreign word or phrase, such as yang er fang lao, you write it in italics. https://www.dailywritingtips.com/italicizing-foreign-words/ "rear" is normally used when talking about taking care of animals. when you talk about taking care of children, use "raise", instead. The last sentence was a run on so I shortened it up

In that case, here comes the second question, their offsprings have to go to the metropolitan where is far from home searching for work.


In that case, hHere comes the second question, their offsprings have to go to the metropolitan where isproblem: their children have to go to the city far from home in order to searching for work. Here comes the second problem: their children have to go to the city far from home in order to search for work.

"offspring" is normally used when talking about animals, we don't normally use it to talk about human children "metropolitan" is an adjective so you wouldn't use it as a noun like you did. I replaced it with "city"

Since it isn’t easy to take seniors with them even they eager to, those elderly people have to stay solely, which is even more solitary for them when their significant other passed away.


Since it isn’t easy to take seniors with them even they eager to, ough they want to go, those elderly people have to stay solelyhome alone, which is even more solitary for them when their significant other has passed away. Since it isn’t easy to take seniors with them even though they want to go, those elderly people have to stay home alone, which is even more solitary for them when their significant other has passed away.

"eager to" isn't the full phrase, you have to put a verb at the end. e.g., eager to go, eager to play, eager to work, etc. "solely" is an adverb, and it doesn't sound natural the way you used it. I replaced it with "stay home alone"

Worse still, provisions are absolutely lag behind in China, for the government assumes offsprings will no doubt to take the responsibility of caring the old and sick.


Worse still, provisions are absolutely lagging behind in China, for the government assumes offspringschildren will no doubt to take the responsibility of caring for the old and sick. Worse still, provisions are absolutely lagging behind in China, for the government assumes children will no doubt take the responsibility of caring for the old and sick.

You need to use the gerund form of a verb if you use it with is/are The gerund form takes "-ing" at the end Examples Provisions are lagging behind in China The children are playing baseball I am writing corrections on LangCorrect Same thing with "offspring" as before, we use that for talking about animals

"mature" doesn't really sound natural here

For instance, to aid people over 65 years old having sufficient living expenses every month, and to add those who is approaching retirement into the list of being helped, people who live alone for particular.

This was a run-on sentence, so I cut it into two smaller sentences. https://www.thoughtco.com/run-on-sentence-grammar-and-usage-1692069 In the first sentence, you are talking about something that started in the past, and continues to take place now, so you need the present perfect here. https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/grammar/intermediate-to-upper-intermediate/present-perfect-simple-and-continuous When we talk about old people, usually we use the word "elderly" (which is plural). We don't call them the olds. The singular form is "elderly person" instead of insufficient ability" you can just say "inability"
